About Rootrainers


Originally conceived as an invention to improve the success rate of conifers, the Rootrainer system is now in widespread use in many markets. Rootrainers™ are the perfect start for nearly all plants, and especially those that are sensitive to disturbance and require deep root runs. Ideal for growing on seeds, seedlings, plugs and cuttings. The Rootrainer system is made up of deep seed trays, divided into separate segments known as ‘books’. They are unique because they open up like a book, for easy inspection and easy transplanting.


Giving you and your plants the best


In the last 20 years, over 60 million Rootrainer cells have been sold to professional growers


throughout the world and the resulting plants are now specified in many landscape and


TM


forestry contracts. Tildenet offers support to both large and small growers, advising on the use of Rootrainers™ for a wide variety of plants, from strawberries to potatoes, vines to date palms, conifers and Quercus.


The enormous success of Rootrainers™ since their introduction in the UK and Europe and their widespread adoption for the growing of trees and shrubs as well as flowers, fruit and vegetables, is due to the many advantages they possess for nurseyman, foresters and horticulturists alike.


Quality Rootrainers™ encourage


optimum root formation including strong, straight roots, a fundamental requirement of healthy and successful growth. The rectangular shape provides a greater surface area and the grooves allow more roots to develop on the outside of the plug. The air-pruning design means no root repairs — just fibrous straight roots.


Economy Less compost, healthier


Plants! Rootrainers™ are reusable and are proven to have a long life — SIX and more


years are common in many nurseries. Also books may be replaced


individually when damaged without the need to discard the whole tray. Rootrainers™ mean less work and less compost.


Flexibility Rootrainers™ are available


in a number of different sizes to accommodate the widest possible range of plant species. Rootrainers™ are the only modular system which allows plants to be spaced out without re-potting.


Packing and Plant


Delivery Rootrainer plants are easily extracted from the ‘open books’ without ‘shock’ (even when frozen), for grading, packing and transplanting.


The rectangular root plugs pack tightly into uniform bundles in plastic film for safe and economic delivery. Alternatively, high value plants can be delivered in the Rootrainers™ books, which provide optimum protection, using the custom designed Rootrainers™ Mail Packs.
